Well said! Many companies have the attitude, "You're lucky we let you have this job, and we can take it away any time!" And many employees totally believe it, no matter how talented they are. But you can't live other people's lives for them. After switching to contract work my only regret was that occasionally there were people I wished I could have worked with longer. But that's life.
I actually took a google screening test around 2010, and they did call me back to go to the next step, which was kind of an ego boost. Other things came up and I never followed through, so no idea if they would have hired me or not. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
